Remember when I posted a shot of a sleeping bee after the rains? Well, this one was making it's way to bed. Actually it was still moving around on that flower, but it would not fly away. In that state of mind you can actually hug them without fear. Of course my own kids did not believe that, but in the end both of them hugged this one on it's back and wings and it did not seem to mind at all! Anyway, time to go to work, so I cut the flower, brought it indoors and used an indirect fill in flash (just a newspaper in my hands) to make some nice really sharp images. This one has not been altered in any way, nor cropped. I shot this at ISO 100, f25, 0.3 seconds with fill in flash at full manual mode.
